Traditional Greek owner Atlas Maritime is pouring liquidity from a string of successful tanker sales into forward-looking technologies and transport modes.
According to shipping market sources, the Athens and London-based company has inked a 7,000-ceu pure car/truck carrier (PCTC) newbuilding at China’s CIMC Raffles Offshore Engineering.
The LNG dual-fuel ship is scheduled for delivery in September 2024.
Leon Patitsas-led Atlas is also said to be holding options for multiple newbuildings, which it may start exercising later this year.
